Falling Man: A Literatura em busca de possíveis significados para um espaço vazio

September 11 has originated a wide range of artistic manifestations which have not only searched for plausible explanations for the tragedy, but also tried to review the events. In this sense, this paper aims at showing how a novel reevaluates this episode. The attacks made the United States experience a strong sense of vulnerability, triggering reactions from the American government, whose quick action was translated into a new national security strategy, associated with the war on terror. This paper analyzes the narrative strategies employed by the American author Don DeLillo in his novel Falling Man (2007) in order to reevaluate that tragedy. The debate of the topics is based on texts concerning the relationship between literature and history, postmodern fiction and issues on terrorism. This study contributes to enrich the discussion related to the events that led to the catastrophe and its aftermath, examining characters and groups linked to the September 11 terrorist attacks, revealing multiple truths subjected to social, ideological and historical conditions.

O mito de don juan e a subjetividade moderna

The legendary Don Juan character inhabits the popular imaginary with such a vibrancy of a myth, despite its slight recognition as such by the scientific literature. The purpose of this article is to verify if Don Juan’s play can be understood, scientifically, as a modern myth, as well as understand its mythical nature and its relation to the modern man. A structural and historical analysis of the two first plays on Don Juan has guided us: the one written by Tirso de Molina in 1630, and the one by Molière, written in 1665. The studies allow us to say that Don Juan is a typical modern myth, once it is constituted by narratives that expose a world looming under the signs of individualism, hedonism, arrogance and audacity forged under the appeals of sexual desire.

Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TICs) e literatura, uma aposta notável

The aim of this study was to develop a qualitative research of bibliographic nature, in order to verify how has been the use of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and literary reading in early childhood education.. It is believed to be necessary for children, since their early childhood, to, be in contact with various literary works of aesthetic value, which will enable them to understand this particular literary language - and the imagery that comes with it - what can instigate appreciate literature and get the reading habit. The use of ICTs by children beyond the use of games and watching stories on computers, tablets and smartphones, for example, for the production of videos and slides or creating stories, enable new experiences of redesigning and construction of knowledge and culture. The idea for this research came from reading the numerous texts that deal with the need to understand the child as an active subject in the construction of culture and society, rather than as receiving reproductive and cultural orders (CRIANÇAS, 2012). In this sense, in addition to the newsletters Equity For Children: Latin America (CRIANÇAS, 2012), the understanding of childhood and child in the works of Walter O. Kohan (2005; 2006) supports this study. This research proposal was also based on authors and documents that point to the need to promote, since the first stages of Basic Education, the literary reading as a means of enjoyment and emancipation (LAJOLO 2001a; Barthes, 2007; FILIPOUSKY, 2009; BRAZIL, 2010; MACHADO, 2011; VASQUES, 2013), and an education connected to the technological advances of the twenty-first century (BRAZIL, 1997, CHAVES, 1998; DEMO, 2008)

Los manglares de la costa brasileña: revision preliminar de la literatura

Los manglares ocurren intermitentemente a lo largo del litoral brasileño desde Cabo Orange (4°21'N) en Amapá hasta la ciudad de Laguna (28°30'S). En este trabajo se sugiere la división del litoral en 7 trechos que comparten características geomorfológicas y rangos de condiciones meteorológicas similares. Estes trechos son: Litoral Guianense, Golfão Amazónico, Litoral de Ponta Coruçá a Ponta Mangues Secos, Litoral de Ponta Mangues Secos al Cabo Calcanhar, Litoral del Cabo Calcanhar al Recôncavo Baiano, Litoral Oriental y Costa Cristalina. El mayor desarrollo del manglar ocurre en los trechos Guianense y del Gofão Amazónico. Los manglares se desarrollhan por todo el litoral aún en los sectores donde la precipitación es en el orden de 500 mm/año. En las costas expuestas se desarrolla en las áreas anegadas detrás de medanos, canales, lagunas y márgenes de los estuarios, penetrando en ocasiones 30-40 km. Coloniza además las márgenes de las grandes bahías hasta los 28°30'S donde la temperatura anual es de 19.6°C y la temperatura media del mes más frío es de 15.7°C. En el trecho del Litoral Cristalino, el manglar alcanza su límite latitudinal en el estado de Santa Catarina. Rhizophora alcanza 27°53'S mientras que Avicennia continúa hasta los 28°30'S en Laguna. En la isla de Santa Catarina se encuentran manglares bien desarrollados dominados por Avicennia. Estos manglares alcanzan un porte promedio de 7.0 ± 0.4 m, tienen un DAP de 17.9 cm, densidades totales (≥ 2.5 cm) de 431 ± 93 árboles/ha y áreas basimétricas (≥ 2.5 cm) de 7.42 ± 0.80 m2/ha. Las áreas basimétricas bajas se deben al dominio de los rodales por pocos ejemplares de diámetros moderados. Debido a estas bajas densidades, la copa es rala y los bosques son extremadamente abiertos
